Been busy since new year...
Well, lesson in life number 1,
nothing will last forever, and nothing will be the same once they are gone forever.
I know a lot of people know, appreciate what you have,
but, there are still a lot of people don't know.

Recently lost one of my auntie.
This auntie is one of the close auntie who see me grow up,
and always not afraid of my mum, always buy treats for me.
I did went back and visit her,
and I do know that she will be gone one day, because of her medical condition,
However, I wasn't shock, nor surprise, that she is gone now, forever.
And to those people out there thinks your parents is going to stay with you forever and hold your hands,
maybe you need to invent some kind of potion to preserve them.

Many people say, nurses are numb when it comes to death.
Well for me, I have families, and friends, plus looking at the industry I'm working,
its not easy for me to see someone pass away.
Although death in nursing home is a normal thing, for me,
it's hard for me to see my relatives, or elderlies in nursing pass...
Nurses are actually the worst ones when it comes to death.

Lesson in life number 2,
if you can't change the situation you are in now,
change your perception, your thoughts and also change your attitude.
and the most important thing is, never afraid to accept new changes.
There's too many storms and waves in life.
Sometimes might be smooth sailing, and luck is always beside you,
but they are not there always, nor forever.
I have gone through storms, and I can tell you,
it's never easy to sail in storms as you will get hurt and cut,
and it's a test to see if you survived, or sink deep.

I think I just survived one of the storm,
and there's another one coming.
Well let's hope I don't sink deep and survived this one.

今年是我在海外过的第五个新年。
缺少年味，年菜，红包，人情，
对我而言，哪像新年？
唯有自己播新年歌，不知不觉也跟着唱起来。
每年的新年，都在工作里度过。
也没什么特别。

新年期间，惜福和团圆格外贴切。
珍惜在家乡过的每一个新年，
珍惜每到年菜的味道，
珍惜到每家亲戚家拜年，
珍惜在吵吵闹闹的家里过新年。
能与家人团圆的机会，得来不易。

在海外过新年的每一位学子，游子们，
祝你们蛇年吉祥，心想事成，
吉祥如意。

3 little sausages which I will always make me laugh...

Misty, you are now in a better place, and you sent me your sister. 

Cuddles, whenever I look at you, it always reminds me of Misty,

which I know both of you can't be replace by each other.

Autumn, thank you for being with me for several years.

Autumn is still autumn... However, her friend  is not the same.
Top: Cuddles    Bottom: Misty, always miss...

At this time of the day, middle of the night,
Feeling hungry...
Though it gives me a thought, maybe I should upload some photos..
Photos of something I like doing apart from being a nurse, which is cooking...
Well, basically it is just something I enjoy, and still learning on the way..

Trial of Chocolate coated cherry  trifle, and  it was not  bad  ^^

Chocolate cherry cupcake, which one of my friend always ask me  for more...

Gateau Napolean, looks a bit rustic, but  there's always one of my friends favourite.

Chocolate Orange Meringue Cake, for one of the  gathering ...

Another year has passed.
Dragon year almost finished and The year of Snake is just around the corner.
And, always this time of the year, I will get super homesick as I miss the younger days,
That I celebrate Chinese New Year (CNY) with my family, go house to house visiting,
And of course collecting red packets, as a best wishes from our family, relatives and friends.

Well, having to celebrate Chinese New Year by my own,
I learnt how to make Chinese New Year dishes and little snacks and treats.
There's something called BBQ pork or as Chinese people say "long yuk"..
Well, I tried asking and seeking opinion from lots of people,
So I finally tried it today, and of course, nothing taste better like what I had for the pass 20 years.
Sometimes, makes me wonder, something can never be replace and something will always stay as our memory and it will be cherished as long as we live.
Playing Chinese New Year songs in my computer makes me thinking of the atmosphere in my country.

Well, what we always do, the day before CNY, have a family reunion dinner, and go for late night market to get all the things for CNY. And after that, the most exciting part, is to go over my grandparents house to stay for 5 days of CNY, and all my cousins will be there, and that is why CNY is one of my most looking forward festive.

All this thing makes me realize, if something broken, you can easily fix or buy a new one to replace.
But things like memory and the taste that you once had during childhood, will never be able to replace.
I like Chinese dumplings a lot. I remember one of my auntie is very good in making those,
And I will never forget how it taste. Although now I might not be able to taste it anymore,
I will always remember.

Well, looking forward to the Year of Snake..
Hopefully its a good year for me and to others too ^^

Hey peeps,
Last hour of 2012.
How's your day been?
I had a tough year.
Gone through tunnels, up in the air and also down to the sea,
which I'm glad and proud of myself that I survived.
Achieve lots and fail to achieve.
Well, guess what people, 2013 is here, which is time for me to continue to achieve what's left.

New year wish,
Which is simple,
Be a better nurse, improve myself,
possible to study more,
stay happy, stay strong while going through tough times.

2013,
New year, new life,new page,
wonder what will I write on the new page?
Have a good new year ahead everyone ^^

Well people,
It has been awhile I last updated my blog.
As everyone in the world was saying,
The world is going to end and non of the human being will survive.
Here we are,
still survive, still have to work, still have bills to pay and life still goes on.
So, be happy, because at this time of the year, its time for sharing and caring to others.

I grow up in a Buddhist and Christian family.
I celebrate Christmas as a festive season.
Like any other household, I still have my Christmas tree,
wrapped presents are under the Christmas tree,
Thank you my dearest uncle for the lovely childhood memory which I much cherished till now.

Other than Christmas just days to go,
I also did something today, which I haven experience before.
Well, went out with one of my client,
and I do appreciate the other nurse who come along.

Happiness is just something simple and easy to achieve.
My client look so satisfied after fried chicken strips and a beer,
which not often seen in many rich people.

Happiness is,
not having toothache today,
not feeling sick,
its just having sweets.
Many billionaire always says" money can buy happiness".
And in the real world is, money can buy everything in the world,
BUT happiness. Maybe a there's heaps of people out there will disagree with me.
My happiness is just simply a little space for me to read my books, with my music, accompany by cup of tea.
I know it sounds very old fashion,but this is what happiness is.
Keep things simple and you will find happiness.

By the way, have a blessed and Merry Christmas to everyone out there.
Stay safe ^^
